Two years after Sun Microsystems Inc.’s sale to Oracle Corp. ended his run as one of Silicon Valley’s most prominent chief executive officers, Jonathan Schwartz is resurfacing on a smaller stage.

Schwartz announced today the debut of CareZone, a startup website that lets family members and health-care workers share information about aging or ill parents, spouses and children. CareZone has seven employees, is funded with less than $2 million of Schwartz’s own money, and came about as a reaction to his need to care for older parents -- and a desire to try a different business than Sun’s, Schwartz said in an interview.
